Rotary joint allows unlimited end-of-arm rotation

A device that allows unlimited rotation of end-of-arm tooling without tangling or twisting robot lines uses advanced slip-ring technology that passes electrical and pneumatic signals.

ATI Industrial Automation has released a unique device that allows unlimited rotation of end-of-arm tooling without tangling or twisting robot lines.

By utilizing advanced slip-ring technology the Rotary Joint passes electrical and pneumatic signals from robot to tooling which alleviates stress on robot lines.

This device is designed to simplify applications where tooling rotation is an issue.

The Rotary Joint has two components: fixed and rotating.

The rotating component consists of the robot adaptor, tool adaptor, and a central connecting core.

Lines are attached between the fixed component and your robot controller.

As the robot moves, the fixed lines do not twist.

With many different sizes, this device can be easily integrated with almost any robot.

Features: * Prevents damage and increases life of robot electrical and pneumatic lines.

Normal twisting action can fatigue electrical lines or damage pneumatic lines.

* Compact, light-weight design with a high load capacity.

* Constructed of anodized high-strength aluminum alloy with easy-to-use electrical and pneumatic interface.

* Angle of traverse is unlimited (360deg+).

* Suitable for speeds of up to 120 rpm and for payloads of 18,000N (4,050 lbf) and 700Nm (6,200 lb-in).

* Allows 2-to-4 pneumatic feed-through lines at a maximum of 10 bar.

* Allows 4-to-10 electrical signals at a maximum of 60V and 1A.

* Suitable for BUS signal transmission.

* Tested to operate beyond one million rotations.

* IP-65 (splash proof).
